How Nigeria Secured Victory In P&ID Case – FG

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that the Federal Government on Monday said the judgment rendered by Judge Robin Knowles of the Business and Property Court in London, awarding a landmark victory to the Federal Government of Nigeria over a firm known as Process & Industry Development (P&ID) Limited served as a damning indictment of predatory international investors.

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, stated this in his official reaction to the judgement while briefing State House reporters at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said the P&ID and its associates, both Nigeria and the world over, shamelessly attempted to defraud the country and enrich themselves through sharing the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s privileged document, fraud, bribery and corruption on an industrial scale.

Fagbemi stated that there would be further hearing by the United Kingdom court on the heels of this judgment to determine costs payable by P&ID and others in the matter.

The AGF, who spoke on how Nigeria secured victory in the P&ID case, attributed the success recorded to a close inter-agency collaboration of the federal government team.

He listed the team to include the Attorney General of the Federation, Federal Ministry of Justice, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Nigerian Police Force, Central Bank of Nigeria, Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Department of State Security Service (DSS) and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU).
